According to TMZ, the real estate broker, who filed for divorce in 2008, is looking for some money to go towards him looking after their two daughters, Eila Rose and Emma, after Anna earned more than $1million.

The website also claims $890,858.83 of that money came as a result of the success of Breaking Bad, in which she played long-suffering wife Skyler White from 2008 to 2013.

Following on from her Breaking Bad success, Anna is set to star in a new TV show, Gracepoint, a US remake of the hit British TV drama series Broadchurch.

The 45-year-old star will appear opposite David Tennant – who played a starring role as Detective Inspector Alec Hardy in the show.

Anna's role in Breaking Bad has been particularly successful, with the blonde star taking home the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series last year and a Screen Actors Guild Award (SAG) for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series earlier this year.

What's more, she has been nominated for accolades on several occasions, including two further SAG Awards and another Emmy nod.

Despite her success, the star revealed at the Emmys last September that she suffered from weight issues while shooting the show.

Speaking to People on the night, she said: 'I was actually ill while I was filming the show and it affected my weight.

'They gave me cortisone and I puffed up and gained weight. Now I'm better, thank God.'

What's more, she also credited her two daughters for keeping her in tip top shape.

She added: 'I run around after two kids and I do Pilates.'
